GENIOSIL GPTM

GENIOSIL® GPTM is an epoxyfunctional alkoxysilane. It´s a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. The silane hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture (methanol is released) to form silanols, which can then react with themselves to produce siloxanes. The epoxy group on GENIOSIL® GPTM can undergo a ring-opening reaction with nucleophiles such as alcohols and amines. An acidic or basic catalyst may be required. As a bifunctional, organic molecule with a silyl group,GENIOSIL® GPTM is able to function as a molecular bridge between inorganic and organic substrates.
